Montale Paris Ristretto Intense Cafe

Mostly roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on coffee and turkey red rose, moves through roasted coffee beans, french rose and woodsy notes, and settles on vanilla, caramel and white musk.

• coffee: roasted and bittersweet, like fresh espresso
• woodsy notes: a general woodiness rather than any specific wood

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
